Perfect for weekend escapes and city breaks, this vintage Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 55 in Monogram adds effortless polish to your travels. Spacious enough for a few days away, it transitions from road trips to refined hotel lobbies with ease, complementing casual denim or tailored travel wear alike.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is the Keepall Bandoulière 55 cabin‑size compliant? A: Generally yes. At 55 cm in length, this size is designed to meet most airlines’ cabin baggage limits, but policies vary by carrier and aircraft. We recommend checking your specific airline’s rules before travelling.
Q: What typically fits inside a Keepall Bandoulière 55? A: With approximate measurements of 55 × 30 × 24 cm, it comfortably holds a weekend’s wardrobe, a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, and tech essentials in sleeves. There is one internal slip pocket for small items. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: What does “Bandoulière” mean—how is it different from the classic Keepall? A: Bandoulière models include side D‑rings and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap so you can wear the bag on the shoulder or cross‑body as well as by the rolled top handles. This piece includes a shoulder strap, handle holder, luggage tag, and a padlock with keys as listed under product information.
Q: Will this fit in an overhead bin or under the seat? A: The 55 is best placed in the overhead bin on most standard aircraft. It generally does not fit under the seat due to its length and height.
Q: What does the date code FL1022 indicate? A: For Louis Vuitton codes used from 1990 to 2006, the letters show the country and the digits show month and year. “FL” denotes France; the digits “1 0 2 2” decode to month 12 and year 2002—so this piece was made in France in December 2002. Note that from 2021 Louis Vuitton began phasing out date codes in favour of microchips on newer items.
Q: How durable is Monogram canvas and what should I know about vachetta leather? A: Monogram canvas is a coated, hard‑wearing material designed for travel. The trim and handles are natural, untreated vachetta leather that will develop a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water and oils. On this bag the vachetta has some watermarks and a developed patina, which is typical of vintage use.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Keepall? A: Keep it dry and avoid contact with liquids, oils, and alcohol‑based products. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; do not use soaps or conditioners on the vachetta. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Can the shoulder strap be worn cross‑body? A: Yes. The detachable strap is adjustable for a comfortable shoulder or cross‑body carry for most heights, while the dual rolled handles allow easy hand carry (handle drop approx. 10 cm).
Q: What should I know about the hardware on this item? A: The gold‑tone brass hardware is shiny with light surface scratches from gentle use. The included padlock shows tarnish; this is common with age and does not affect function.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, and the date code where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
